In the early years of the 21st century, we find ourselves in a world in need of leaders -- spiritual leaders who can provide hope and guidance in an increasingly complex world. Saint Mary's College, long a pioneer in the education of women, is committed to preparing women like you for leadership in the areas of work, faith life, and community.
Young people like you are asking important questions, questions like: Who do I want to be? How does my spirituality influence my identity and my choices? What difference can I make in today's world? We invite you to explore these questions and more at the Spiritual Leaders 2010 Institute.
This week-long summer program offers you an opportunity to grow as a young woman of faith and develop leadership skills for the 21st century. Through group activities, reflection, and service, we will explore:
Activities will also include an immersion experience in the city of South Bend, as well as opportunities for mentoring relationships with students at Saint Mary's College. The picturesque campus of Saint Mary's, nestled along the shores of the St. Joseph River, will provide a peaceful setting for the week's activities.
Only $250 for the entire week. A non-refundable $50 deposit is due with your application. We encourage you to ask your youth group, faith community, or high school to contribute the remaining $200, to be paid by June 25, 2010. The cost covers all programming, housing, meals, and outings. A few partial scholarships are also available.
